‘A baby cannot provide … consent’: Calif. lawmakers denounce infant intersex surgeries

profeminist:

“The California State Legislature approved a resolution on Tuesday denouncing medically unnecessary surgeries for intersex children.

“Intersex children should be free to choose whether to undergo life-altering surgeries that irreversibly — and sometimes irreparably — cause harm,” the resolution states.

SCR 110 was introduced by Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat whose district includes San Francisco, and it was supported by Equality California, a statewide LGBTQ advocacy group, and interACT, an intersex youth advocacy organization.

In a statement provided to NBC News, Wiener said the resolution “recognizes that California’s intersex community is a part of our state’s diversity and should be embraced.”

“These surgeries should be performed only with informed consent by the person whose life will be permanently impacted,” Wiener stated. “A baby cannot provide that consent.”

“These surgeries can have significant negative impacts on people’s lives, particularly if the gender chosen by the physician and parents is different from the child’s ultimate gender identity,” Wiener continued.

WARNING!!!!

People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.

Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.

It’s a good idea not to click on unknown links anywhere, but no, someone can’t get all your information if you do. And no, this isn’t real.

Fun fact about me as a little kid: When I was about six years old, I used to live in Texas, and back then, I sincerely believed that tumbleweeds hatched from eggs.

My logic was thus: my family lived in the middle of practically nowhere, and I would see them rolling around a lot across the flatlands. I wondered how a plant could grow if it was rolling around all the time and didn’t have any leaves or flowers like other plants. But then I saw this nature documentary (NatGeo’s ”Really Wild Animals”) about coral reefs that described coral as “an animal that looks like a plant” . So I figured that tumbleweeds were a kind of “land coral”, I.E. a weird sort of animal that just looked like a dried-up shrub. From there I figured they laid eggs (purely on a guess). I imagined they were as big as soccer balls and had soft shells, like snake eggs.

A couple years later I moved from Texas and learned that they were plants; they just grew like regular shrubs and would dry up and snap off at their base to roll around and spread seeds. Still, the idea of “land coral” stuck with me- any artists/writers out there, feel free to use this as inspiration.

I’ve heard worse conclusions.
